Requiem of a Broken Heart

Chapter 761:

The one who did was the man waiting outside.

Her fingers hovered for a brief moment before she pulled them back, shaking off the thought.

“Allan, the spaghetti is ready. Try them while they’re hot,” she said with a warm smile, bringing the plate to the table.

After the meal, Allan didn’t linger. He set his fork down and looked at her. “Rachel, thanks for the meal. The spaghetti was great, and I really enjoyed it. Also, don’t worry about Leona. I’ll leave it to the company’s legal team to handle.”noveldrama

Rachel nodded. “Alright.”

Allan hesitated briefly before asking, “Do you want to walk me out?”

Rachel blinked, caught off guard by the question. After a short pause, she shook her head. “I don’t think so.”

“Are you sure you don’t want to go downstairs for a bit?”

Her answer was firm. “No. There’s nothing down there worth seeing.”

Allan observed her briefly before giving a slight nod. “Alright. I’ll get going then.”

Once he left, Rachel busied herself tidying up the kitchen and living room, using the tasks as a way to keep her mind occupied.

When she noticed the trash needed to be taken out, she quickly tied up her hair, grabbed the garbage bags, and headed downstairs.

She hadn’t expected to run into that guard again, this time near the trash bins as he made his inspection rounds.

Seeing her, he greeted her with a knowing look. “Oh, young lady, it’s you!”

“Yes,” she replied, keeping her tone neutral.

“By the way,” he continued, shaking his head, “your boyfriend is still standing at the entrance. Look, it’s fine if you’re mad and don’t want to let him upstairs, but you should at least tell him to leave. He’s been lingering there so long, people might start thinking he’s up to something suspicious.”

Rachel was speechless. She had planned to ignore it altogether. But knowing the guard’s reputation for being both gossipy and overly responsible, she realized that if she didn’t handle the situation now, he’d probably show up at her door later to follow up.

Rather than dealing with unnecessary trouble, she decided to put an end to it.

“Alright, I’ll go talk to him,” she said.

As she reached the entrance, her eyes immediately found Brian.

It wasn’t hard. He was tall, towering over the people around him. And he hadn’t moved an inch since earlier, standing there as if frozen in time.

“Brian,” she called softly.
